A Look at How to Clean a Garbage Disposal

Posted on Sep 11, 2014 12:30pm PDT

Garbage disposals are very easy to break, so it's recommended that
you clean yours regularly to reduce your chances of needing an appliance
repair service. If you need to schedule a

the appliance repair company to call.

If your garbage disposal is smelly, put two cups of ice with one cup of
rock salt or vinegar into the garbage disposal, and engage the garbage
disposal with cold water running. Let it run for five to ten seconds before
turning it off. If there is a clog, remove any large objects using tongs.
Then, plug the drain and fill the sink with four inches of cold water.
Remove the drain plug and run the garbage disposal to clear the debris.
